The edit network associated with the history of Wikipedia pages is a network whose nodes are the page(s) and all contributing users and whose edges encode time-stamped, typed, and weighted interaction events (edit events) between users and pages and between users and users. Specifically, edit events encode the exact time when an edit has been done along with one or several of the following types of edit interaction:

  • the amount of new text that a user adds to a page;
  • the amount of text that a user deletes (along with the other user/s that has/have previously added this text);
  • the amount of previously deleted text that a user restores (along with the users that previously deleted and the ones that originally added the text).

WikiEvent is a small graphical java software with which the edit network associated with the history of Wikipedia pages can be computed.
